Hey guys. I debated which sub-forum to stick this in but eventually settled on just putting it in this one -- sorry if I picked wrong.
Basics: My mom's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get her a nice mousepad that is (1) larger than average and (2) has a wrist rest.
She visited last weekend and saw the one I had picked up for myself, a SteelSeries QcK (http://SteelSeries QcK Mouse Pad), and said she really wished she had a mousepad that large or at least larger than the standard ones she uses. However having a wrist rest is a must have for her as her hands hurt rather badly otherwise. She uses a computer a great deal.
So far I've only been able to find small mousepads with wrist rests or larger ones without -- are there any out there that meet the criteria I'm after?
In case anyone isn't sure, this (http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Memory-Mouse-Wrist-9176501/dp/B000UH9M3E/ref=zg_bs_705323011_4) is what I mean by wrist rest. I'd be open to buying her a mousepad more like mine and an unattached wrist rest if needed, but haven't seen those either.
Thanks in advance!

Where do you get the separate wristpad? Looks like a good idea, then I could just get her a mousepad like mine and add that.
Granted I'd still prefer a one piece ensemble, but can't have everything.

I'm with ripster here, a mousepad with a separate wrist rest/wristpad would be a better idea. As for where to get a wristpad by itself, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing some at Staples/Business Depot/Office Depot, could look there (or stores like it). Or Amazon might have one/some. :)
